#StandUpDontBackDown
“Stand up when people tell you to stand down. Stand up when people are trying to silence you. Stand up and be who God called you to be. Take your structure and go home. You have to carry what carried you before Jesus, the mat, carried him. After Jesus, he carried the mat. The evidence of Christ's authority was walking out of the same door through he which he could not enter. You see, but I know that things tried to carry you, but it does not have any authority over you because God has the power to move you out of where you are.”

#GloryFillsTheEarth
“I want to awaken your sanctified imagination that you are not part of something that is ordinary, but you are witnessing something or being part of something that is big, that is great, something that is grand, something that is magnanimous, and that is to be part of that force that God has so desired to be building his kingdom on earth. Abba chapter two verse 14. It says, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the water covers the sea. This is the place where God wants to bring his people, where they can experience new creation, where we can experience the glory of the Lord flowing in our lives, around us, and in our world.”

#ImperfectAndUsed
“Or maybe you're not afraid of success or failure. Maybe you're afraid you are not perfect. Maybe you think that since you've sinned, god can't use you. That can't be further from the truth. Romans three twenty three reminds us for all have sinned and come short of the glory of god. Listen. God uses imperfect people all the time. Just look at Moses, the murderer. Look at Rahab, the prostitute. Look at David, the adulterer. Look at Peter, oh, Peter. And look at me. I definitely have my faults.”
53s
#FailForward
“Sometime you have to lose in order for you to gain. Some of y'all won't move until you lost something. Here it is. So I gotta lose. That means that I learned to fail, and then I learned to learn, and then I learned to try again. I learned to fail. I learned to learn, and I learned to try again. That means that the more I fail, the more I take a risk, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I try again. That means whatever you're going through, don't just sit back, lean over to a neighbor and say, try again. It might not work this way, but somebody say, try again. You might fall down, but you do what, Hollis? Try again.”
86s
#TiredNotRebellious
“Some people are not resistant resistant to the gospel because they're rebellious. They are resistant, Sam Proctor says, because they're tired. Life has walked on them. Life over and over again has pressed them down. Life has packed the soil of their hearts until nothing can get in. And the people we are called to reach, the people that we are called to love are living in that same tired, trampled soil. Ministry begins with the understanding the ground that they've been walking on. You see the path is the place where the seed falls and it's most exposed. It's not covered. It's not protected. It's not held. It's just lying there on hard ground, probably cold, just sitting on the top because what's underneath them isn't soft enough to receive them.”

#GodMovesTheStuck
“What is paralysis? Your body cannot move. Your mind cannot move. You feel like you can't move physically, mentally, or spiritually, but God specializes in stuck people. I may have been stuck. I may have been the place that I've been in, but god knows how to step right in and get the body moving. God knows how to step right in and get your mind moving. God knows how to get your emotions moving. God know how to get your spirit moving. I don't know about you, but maybe you feel stuck.”
50s
#CarriedByFaith
“Somebody carried him. His legs could not carry him. His arms could not carry him. His knees could not carry him. His mind could not carry him. His body could not carry him. His friends could. Sometimes faith looks like believing for yourself. Sometimes faith look like somebody who believes you enough to carry you when you cannot carry yourself. Oh, the reality is somebody prayed for us. Somebody helped us. Somebody encouraged us. Somebody strengthened us. Somebody covered us. Somebody brought us to church. Somebody called our name before God.”
50s
#GraceThatCleans
“Jesus specializes in clearing records that people refuse to forget. His grace washes. His mercy restores. His power cleans. Jesus clears what others can't. Jesus knows how to take the stain that's on your life and clear it. He looks at you and sees the things that you are or what you did before, and he just cleans you.”
49s
#FromUncleanToClean
“The same people who knew his old condition would now have evidence of his new condition. Yesterday, I was unclean, but today, I am clean. Yesterday, I was isolated, but today, restored. Yesterday, they said, stay away from here, but now I am cleared. When Jesus cleans, you gotta stay clean. Because when God steps in the room, he clears the record.”
39s
#PastDoesntDefineMe
“You cleansed my record. Maybe life has stinged you. Maybe sin has stained you. Maybe mistakes have stained you. Maybe people have labeled you. People have told you about your past. Maybe everybody saw you what used to be, but bring it to Jesus. Because when Jesus cleans you, shame doesn't get the last word. Your past doesn't get the last word. People don't get the last word. Jesus gets the last word. He clears you.”
